Chapter 735: A High-Dimensional Sovereign About to Be Born?
Damn it! You call this thing a cat?
Yu Xiaomo stared at the video before him, face full of black lines; this thing is clearly an indescribable creature!
The Alliance keeps a suspected disaster‑like entity, which has already caused quite a stir on the interstellar network.
Besides, the Alliance has recently been in the limelight; big trees attract wind, so facing criticism is not strange.
"Supplies have already been sent over; do I really have to help manage public opinion as well?"
Yu Xiaomo pondered: this disaster‑like thing is a taboo in every civilization, and researching it is an even greater taboo.
After all, the chaotic technology that once roiled the Star Sea was produced precisely by over‑researching disasters.
But if you claim some civilization avoids researching disasters, that's hardly possible—every major civilization has some connection to it.
"Sigh, worrying only brings chaos, worrying only brings chaos."
Yu Xiaomo let out a soft sigh, his small frame sinking back into the chair; he had barely settled when another notification popped up.
"Your goods have been damaged; if you have insurance, please contact the upper‑line logistics for compensation."
Yu Xiaomo:???
"Did the express explode again?"
"Isn't this courier company supposed to claim this is the safest route?"
Due to the outbreak of contamination, the flesh‑vein network spread completely, directly carving out a massive forbidden zone in the Star Sea.
All civilizations' curvature routes must detour here; it's not only troublesome but also incurs extremely high costs.
All we can say is that, for now, the new contamination is temporarily contained; the sprawling network it produced has limited influence, and most civilized regions remain unaffected.
But unfortunately, the region where Yu Xiaomo happens to be lies exactly within that affected area.
If the contamination weren't contained here, Yu Xiaomo would have to relocate the entire planet.
"What the hell is the cause this time!!!"
Yu Xiaomo roared, quickly contacting the insurance company, while in fact....
And her express shipment was actually snatched and eaten by a worm‑girl who had just arrived in this universe.
Somewhere in the Star Sea, a barren asteroid belt.
A worm‑girl squatted on a shattered boulder, clutching a perfectly packaged energy‑compression block, nibbling it with relish.
Hmm.... The stuff in this universe actually tastes pretty good.
Qi Yu licked her lips, then casually tossed the wrapper into space.
But actually, this thing isn't food; it's fuel for an organic‑matter spacecraft....
That thing is wrapped in a half‑meter‑thick high‑strength alloy shell, its interior packed with ultra‑compressed organic matter—which Qi Yu just chewed up.
She's been here for a while, slowly inching closer by following her master's scent.
But she isn't some immortal who can abstain from food; she's hungry—really, really hungry.
When you're hungry, you eat; that makes perfect sense.
So along the way she casually grabbed a few batches of cargo—those metal shells couldn't stop her, but this batch is just the absolute best!
Hmm.... Really delicious.
Qi Yu then tore open another chunk and took a big bite; her body, however, is nothing like the petite, sundress‑clad figure Zhang Jie knows.
She is now a huge, elongated, terrifying mother‑worm!
That chunk of compressed organic fuel, which could let Xiao Jiu run for three days, she chewed up like a juicy gummy.
I don't know which company makes this brand, but the ingredients are honest, the energy density is high, the texture is good—at least Qi Yu likes it a lot.
After all, the batch of supplies Yu Xiaomo got for Zhang Jie consists entirely of top‑grade goods—luxury items, expensive stuff.
After all, some pampered bio‑ships actually demand that their organic fuel taste good.
She glanced at the marking on the package—hmm, she couldn't read the logo, but she memorized it; next time she'll know to pick it up.
Only after eating does she have the energy to clean up the mess.
She lifted her gaze toward the depths of the Star Sea; in that direction, the contamination's aura was spreading incessantly.
That is her anchor point.
It is a marker she left in some universe long ago, dug up by a certain Sha Bei Civilization of this universe, studied inside out, eventually losing control and becoming the present disaster.
In short, this is the calamity she brought upon herself.
She could watch a self‑doomed civilization perish with equanimity, but she cannot bear to let the thing she left behind drag the whole universe into the abyss.
So, before she meets her Master, she must first clean up this contamination.
At the very least, she needs to keep the contamination within a range that won't cause greater trouble.
She's still a bit hungry.
Qi Yu glanced at the dwindling supplies in her hand, then at her own flat belly, and sighed.
Inter‑universal travel inherently consumes huge amounts; she's barely eaten properly along the way, and now her internal energy reserves are exhausted.
But after eating, it's time to get to work.
Qi Yu shoved the last energy‑compression block into her mouth, clapped her hands, and a dozen worm‑limbs propped her body up as she rose from the wreckage.
She closed her eyes, sensing the spread of the contamination, her brows slightly furrowed.
It's larger than she imagined.
Moreover, deep within the contamination's core, something seems to be hidden....
Like an immense will, stirring restlessly, apparently the disaster's will is taking over.
Tsk, troublesome.
Qi Yu opened her eyes, stretched her limbs, and her worm‑wings unfolded gently behind her.
Whatever it is, first we'll reclaim the contamination, then talk.
Her figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
In the depths of the Star Sea, the edge of a spreading contamination surge.
The calm vacuum suddenly shuddered, space trembling.
Then, a huge Insect Disaster flew out of this distorted space; she gazed at the surging black flesh sea before her, the joints on her body clicked as they twisted.
Then she opened her blood‑filled maw.
With her as the center, the contamination within tens of thousands of kilometers ahead began to vibrate wildly.
Then, as if something inside was tearing it apart, it was pulled back bit by bit.
"....."
"Rotten?"
Qi Yu smacked her lips, a look of disgust on her face—what the hell did that damned civilization put in there?
Tastes awful!
"Sigh."
Qi Yu sighed, "Self‑inflicted suffering—just let me bear it; what else can I do?"
Qi Yu here launched a contamination‑recovery plan, but the civilization tasked with monitoring the contamination's spread has now panicked.
The contamination is contracting wildly! It's converging toward a point!
What does this signify?
It's obvious—normally, this kind of converging‑contracting phenomenon mostly indicates that a Disaster Sovereign is about to be born.
And once such a Disaster Sovereign is born, it means the disaster will enter a more terrifying stage.
Take the Insect Disaster as an example: before the Star‑Eating Insect Emperor is born, all Insect Disasters can only digest organic matter, undergoing a lengthy process of cocooning, pupation, and wing‑beating.
But once the Star‑Eating Insect Emperor is born, all Insect Disasters will truly evolve into the now‑common cosmic form: devouring inorganic matter.
This critical skill is the key mark of the Disaster Sovereign's birth!
And now, with the fluctuation of high‑dimensional energy, does it mean that the Sovereign of high‑dimensional energy is about to be born?
